Some people swear by using copper shielding tape all the time, particularly when using single coil PUP's. Highly recommend doing it inside the control cavity as that can be more of a problem for humming & buzzing than the PUP's themselves as was the case on my Tele.
This stuff is pretty cheap, does the trick and easily found in Big Green sheds or local hardware and gardening stores.

heaps cheaper than the official stuff too - the only disadvantage is that the glue is not conductive. Aluminium tape can be bought from Jaycar pretty cheaply, and a decent alternative.Originally Posted by wazkelly

I'm about to give shielding paint a try - I just can't get those super awesome looking cavities like the guys who do the copper tape so nicely
